Medulla Oblongata
The medulla oblongata is the most inferior portion of the brain, and it is the connecting link with the spinal cord.
The brainstem is the structure that links the upper and lower centers of the brain. It connects the cerebrum (upper brain) to the spinal cord (lower brain) and is responsible for basic life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure regulation.
The lower portion of the trunk of the body is called the pelvis. It consists of the hip bones, sacrum, and coccyx, and acts as a support structure for the spine and a connection point for the lower limbs.
The brainstem is the structure that links the upper and lower centers of the brain. It controls basic functions like breathing and heart rate, and also serves as a pathway for communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
The medulla oblongata is a crucial structure in the brainstem that is required for life. It plays a vital role in regulating essential functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. Damage to the medulla can be life-threatening.
The portion of the brainstem composed of myelinated nerve fibers that connects to the cerebellum is the peduncles. The peduncles serve as pathways for communication between the cerebellum and other parts of the central nervous system, allowing for coordination of movement and balance.

It is the medulla oblongata that controls swallowing. It also controls functions such as breathing and blood pressure. It is the lower portion of the brainstem.
